HN is actually a great example.

Look at the old source of it and admire it's simplicity.

Yeh, I had actually briefly looked into after writing that comment and found the same - interesting that Paul came up with his own version of LISP to do it in.

If you wanted to remake it in a modern framework though, what stack would you personally opt for? I think Postgres or MySQL for the database is a no-brainer, but what about the quickest approach for the rest (bar of course simply cloning the repo ;) )


The tool i best know is dotnet.

Perhaps controllerless, similar to : https://github.com/ServiceStackApps/RazorRockstars

But, as mentioned. That's because I know that tool, that knowledge is not transferable through a comment :p


Yeh, definitely - I appreciate the input nonetheless!
